New Video: Chrisette Michele – Charades

 Chrisette Michele is officially back and she doesn’t have time for games.
She’s dropping her new Audrey Hepburn project in just a few weeks which features the lead single, “Charades”. Until then, she’s released a new video for the track, directed by Atlanta photographer Derek Blanks.
In the new visual, Chrisette shows off her silhouette and beautiful face in a series of high-contrast shots reminiscent of a 1930s film noir. With the help of her chocolate co-star, she evokes the sensuality of the track into her video while singing:

“Don’t play me. I’m not a show.
I know you did it before.
I’m not that girl.
No, I’m not that broad.
Yes get a no.
Respect me or you better get gone.
I’m not about that life dot come period.”

New Video: Kelly Rowland – ‘Ice’

 Back in the days of Destiny’s Child, Beyonce stated in quite a few interviews that Kelly Rowland was obsessed with eating ice. So it was only fitting that she made a song about ice, but with a different spin.
In the video, for her new track, which marks the first single off of her forthcoming album, Year Of The Woman, Kelly shows off her amazing body in sexy outfits while she sings about her man’s love being cold as ice, but also so very hot.
Yes to that man’s beautiful body, the choreography and Kelly’s big Diana Ross hair.

Nicki Minaj Talks Mariah Carey Feud On ‘My Truth’, Goes In On Barbara Walters

So that drama between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey was for real for real? No publicity stunt here.

Last night on the second installment of Nicki Minaj’s new reality show, My Truth, she was given the opportunity to detail what happened behind-the-scenes of the American Idol drama from her point of view.  While talking to Young Money’s Mack Maine at the studio, she tells him that Mariah kept making a lot of passive aggressive comments towards her which caused her to reach her boiling point and snap.

I just know that I had reached my boiling point.Twenty minutes before that happened, she egged me on and I was like, ‘You know what? Let me go.’ I walked off. I stormed off the stage because I didn’t want to do that. So, I left, and when I came back it was another jab and I said, ‘Okay, now I’m gonna show you…’ She’s admitted that she did not want another female doing the show. Thinking somebody’s coming to steal her shine, nitpicking, and I don’t do well with that passive aggressive s–t. I stay away from mother f–kers. I work and keep it moving. I don’t f–k with the people in the business, but I did the show today and it was good. I made it clear like, if you do that again, I’m gonna do this again. Like, I’m not gonna allow it anymore. I can’t.

She also went in on Barbara Walters for going on The View and telling the studio audience that Mariah told her that Nicki threatened to shoot her.  According to Nicki, Barbara Walters could have called her to get her side but refused to because she’s a little black girl that raps.

I really don’t feel bad for yesterday. Then I hear that Mariah went to Barbara Walters with some more fabrication.  Telling Barbara Walters that I said something about a gun, which everyone knows I’m way smarter than that. Like, wow. I was like, ‘Really?’ My jaw was like open and I was in shock. I’ve never in my life said anything regarding a gun.
I did not say anything right away. I wanted everything to blow over, but you picking up TMZ and Barbara Walters…and now you’ve done opened a can of worms. Am I not good enough for you to get my side because I’m a little black girl that raps? Because if I was J.Lo, you would’ve called J.Lo’s camp. Are we not good enough for you now Barbara? Because you wasn’t even there when I was on the show, Barbara. So I guess I’m not good enough, I’m only good enough to tell people that I’m unpredictable when you don’t f–king know me.
Why would I want to have a rift with someone that I have looked up to my whole life. I’ve loved her. I even told her that in the meeting. I’m happy that Mariah’s on the panel because I think that’s a great thing. You’ve got one of the greatest singers that ever sang ever in the world. Ain’t nothing wrong with that, but the fact that you find something wrong with me being on there? That’s why there’s an issue.
Obviously it’s another ploy to get me off the show.[...]And ain’t nobody gon’ run me off that motha f–kin’ show.”

Rihanna Poses Nude For GQ’s ‘Men Of The Year’ Issue

 Let’s get one thing clear. Rihanna will always give boob tease for GQ.  Always.
She’s giving us deja vu on the cover of GQ Magazine’s “Men Of The Year” Issue where she poses with only a jacket covering her shoulders and her hands strategically covering her cookies.  The cover marks history for GQ as Rihanna is the only female that has ever been included on the “Men Of The Year” list.  Today, she posted the photo up on her instagram with the caption:

GQ’s man of the year?! When will your fave? #historih

Ironically, posting up photos on her twitter almost got her in a bit of trouble last week. Those super sexy photos that she took with Kate Moss for V Magazine weren’t supposed to see the light of day until next year, but they ended up going viral after Rihanna posted them on her twitter.  The magazine released a statement expressing their disappointment while saying that the images were supposed to appear in the March 2013 issue of the magazine.

It is an unfortunate case that these images were prematurely leaked, which is becoming a more prevalent issue within the industry. While we don’t condone what has happened, we are beyond excited to have gotten these two icons of music and fashion together for such a beautiful shoot. This is just a taste of all of the fabulousness that awaits in the March 2013 issue.”

[Video] Chris Brown Chats With Terrence J

Terrence J hasn’t even officially started his new gig as the co-host of E! News yet and already he’s sitting down with big names for candid interviews.  He recently sat down for a rare interview with Chris Brown and got the tea on the good deeds that Chris has been dedicating himself to lately.  During the interview, Chris chatted about his new foundation, Symphonic Love, as well as his desire to give back, his greatest accomplishment and why he felt the need to speak up in court during a hearing recently.Check out a few highlights from the interview plus video below:

On his charity, the Symphonic Love Foundation
This is all about art and love. I just wanted to do something with the kids. Everybody always wants to do a charity event, they always go for everything else but my heart is with the kids. Because everybody looks up to me. I can say I’m a role model in a way but I definitely want the kids to be able to see that I’m doing the right thing and giving back and I want them to have the same opportunity that I had with the art, with music and with singing.
On wanting to speak in court recently before his lawyer shut him down
Yeah I kind of talk too much in court. I wanted to say ‘Well judge I can…’ but he was like ‘No, don’t you say nothing.’
On what he would perform in court if given the chance
“Please don’t judge me.” Yes, how about that!?
On something that people do not know about Chris Brown
That’s a good question. I love that question. I would just say that I’m 100 percent dedicated to everything that I do [...] I want to embody everything that’s positive.
On his greatest accomplishment
Well, I’ve accomplished all that I need to accomplish in my life as far as me being able to say I can successfully sing. I can dance onstage with the greatest. At the end of the day, when I need to be great, is when people can say I’ve helped out the world. It first starts here, helping myself, but what I want to do is bring peace to the world.

Nas And His Father Star In New Gap Ad

 How amazing is it to see Nas in a commercial ad campaign?
The Hip Hop star poses with his father, jazz musician Olu Dara, for Gap’s new 2012 holiday campaign. The advertisement is a part of a series of ads with the theme, “Love Comes In Every Shade.” Nas and his father’s segment is titled, “Fatherly Love” and there will be other advertisements starring Michael J. Fox and The Cast of NBC’s The New Normal that will focus on “Puppy Love”, “Modern Love” and “Best Friend Love.”
His former manager Steve Stoute, author of The Tanning Of America, definitely approves this message.
Watch the 30-second, “Love Comes In Every Shade” Gap commercial below:

Chris Brown Covers The November Issue Of Prestige

Chris Brown swore off interviews in 2012 but gave the green light to the November issue of Hong Kong’s Prestige Magazine. Don’t expect him to dish on his love triangle between Rihanna and Karroach, the interview was pretty cut and dry with questions pertaining to his career only.
Who He Is & What He Stands For:
As a 23-year-old young entertainer, I want the world to see my art and hopefully be inspired by it, promote positivity with what I do now – with painting, with fashion, with directing, with creativity as far as videos and cinema. I want to have people admire that and hopefully have people follow in my footsteps.

On Crossing Genres:
Definitely with Fortune that’s the direction I wanted to go, but even with the F.A.M.E. album. What I wanted to do was not set the bar with a certain kind of style. I didn’t want people to say. “He’s just R&B.” Yes, I will sing an R&B song. But then I’ll do a pop song, then I’ll do a song with a country kind of feel, a reggae feel. I always want to be eclectic with my music. I don’t think music has a race. I think music has a soul and it’s just a feeling. What evokes the set of emotions from you is what I try to bring out…whatever flows, whatever I feel, I just write.
What Fans Should Know About Him:
Just how involved I am with everything. I think a lot of people, a lot of artists, they get the glamour and glitz and everything else is already set for them. You see it and you say, “Oh man, it’s perfect.” But everything is already written. For me, it’s all just straight from thin air. I hear a song [claps his hands] – that’s my concept. When you hear my records, it’s really me writing. It’s really my emotions. It’s really me behind the cameras, directing those videos. It’s me making the decision on what singles we put out. Being the CEO. A real businessman at 23. That’s what I want to show my audience. The generation that we’re in – we’re a lazy generation. The kids in my generation are not as hyper. The work ethic isn’t there. The attention span is short. But I think if they can see me do it at 23 and have all this stuff going on – and still have fun while I’m doing it – who’s to say they can’t?

Evelyn Lozada Wants to Jump Into the Fitness Game

  looks like Evelyn Lozada is ready to stretch out that 15 minutes as long as she can…
According to TMZ, the former Mrs. Ochocinco wants to try her hand at the world of fitness.

The “Basketball Wives” star has signed on to endorse an organic and caffeine free energy shot called youthH2O. We’re told the deal was for a whopping six-figures, but Lozada has her eyes set on bigger things.
Our sources say Lozada is also close to signing on to create her own brand of workout videos as well as a deal to become the face of a workout equipment company.

Whether you’re a fan of Ev or not, there’s no denying that her body is on point. I think it’s safe to say that her and that six-pack know a thing or two about working out and staying in shape.

Nene Leakes is somewhere blasting The Throne’s “Who Gon’ Stop Me”.
There are not many people who can stretch their reality show fame past 15 minutes but Nene Leakes is doing it and doing it well.   She’s covering Ebony magazine’s Annual Power 100 issue while flaunting a tub full of diamonds, ice on her neck, a glass of bubbly and a smile.  [Nothing screams, "I'm Rich B-tch" better than diamonds.]

This year alone, she’s been featured in Vogue, US Weekly and has covered both The Hollywood Reporter and Ebony Magazine.

Apple Exec Fired Over iPhone 5 Maps App Failure

The Apple executive responsible for the colossal failure of Apple’s new Maps app was fired for reportedly refusing to apologize to Apple’s customers.
Scott Forstall convinced Apple execs to replace Google maps on the new iPhone 5 cell phone with his Apple Maps, which turned out to be a disaster.
Not soon after the iPhone 5 launched, consumers began reporting problems with Apple Maps. Well-known streets and even entire towns were left off of the Maps navigation. The app quickly became a target of late night talk show hosts.

When the public outcry over the map app got too loud to ignore, Apple’s boss took action.
Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledged that Apple Maps caused consumers “frustration.” Cook asked Forestall to sign a letter apologizing to Apple’s customers. When Forstall refused to sign the apology letter, Cook showed him the door.
Cook said Forstall wanted to “address the outcry without apologizing.”
Forestall’s arrogance did not serve him well during his 15 years at Apple. Like most narcissists, Forstall had a reputation for being difficult and “never fit in with the culture” at Apple, according to an anonymous source.

Hurricane Sandy Aftermath: NEW YORK UNDER WATER

President Obama declared New York a disaster area as Hurricane Sandy pounded the east coast of the United States with sheets of rain and high winds, leaving several people dead and millions without power.
Winds are still gusting at 45 mph in some areas of the East. 30 foot storm surges were reported as Sandy came ashore in the New York and New Jersey areas.
President Obama suspended his campaign efforts to concentrate on federal hurricane relief efforts. On Monday, Obama stood before the cameras and warned New Yorkers to evacuate or stay inside their homes. He said Hurricane Sandy would be “big and powerful” but he said the federal government was ready.

Terrence J Dishes On New E! News Gig & Desire To Become The Next Will Smith-Ryan Seacrest

It looks as though Terrence J is out here making moves all while taking tips from Ryan Seacrest’s and Oprah Winfrey’s media mogul handbooks.
After completing seven years as host of BET’s 106 and Park, Terrence has begun to expand his empire past that of just being an on air television host. Although he has taken over Ryan Seacrest’s hosting gig over at ‘E! News’, he still continues to work on his acting career, acquire endorsement deals such as his current one with Crown Royal and he has plans to release a relationship book. .
He recently sat down with Ebony Magazine, and in the candid interview, he revealed that his main goal is to be a Will Smith-meets-Ryan Seacrest entertainer and host, while blending the broadcasting and acting worlds in the same way as Oprah has been able to. He also dished on why he believes his gig at  E! News was a smart choice and what it will be like for him to be an actor in Hollywood while also reporting on his Hollywood peers.
Peep a few excerpts:

On why he chose to continue hosting at E! versus focusing entirely on acting
I think that Hollywood is this sort of hybrid now. You have incredible broadcasters like Oprah Winfrey who are now doing movies like The Butler. You have people that are building careers that don’t just have to fit in one lane. I want to be a trendsetter in that space. I look at a mentor of mine like Ryan Seacrest and the incredible amount of equity he’s been able to bring to the broadcasting arena, and the branding and the world that he’s been able to build around himself. I look at another mentor of mine, Will Smith – I call him the greatest actor alive right now – and I’m trying to merge the two. I have a long way to go, obviously. Those are some very big ambitions. But I’m shooting Think Like a Man 2 next year and I have two more film projects that’ll be coming out relatively soon. And I’ll be every day on E! News. Hopefully people just won’t get sick of me!
Why ‘E! News’ Is Good For Him
They’re at the pulse of pop culture, and that’s where I’m at. I think that they’re excellent at what they do. They have a very great staff and amazing people that I get to work with. I think Giuliana Rancic is amazing, and they just get it. They’re a show on the rise and I’m happy to be a part of the program.
On Being in Hollywood While Reporting on Hollywood
If anything, it’ll give me some credibility. When I talk to artists and actors and entertainers, I can understand it from both sides. Hopefully it’ll lead to some better interviews, because I can understand both perspectives. I plan on having the credibility and integrity of being a part of an entertainment news program like E!, in addition to being on the actor side as well.
On How ‘Think Like a Man’ Has Changed Him
It let me know that we’re headed in the right direction. You get a lot of people that tell you you can’t do something. We can make an impact, we can make a difference, we can get numbers. I’m just really humbled to be around all of the things that are happening and to be a part of it.
On What Keeps Him Motivated
My mother. She and my stepfather moved from New York at a young age to build a more safe life for me in North Carolina. And I just watched them grow and work – they had five jobs – and just their drive and their hustle is what fuels me to this day. I come from humble starts. I went to an historically Black college where we’re always told that there’s limitation. And so I’m happy to represent for Black colleges. I’m happy to represent for my fraternity. We work hard, man. And we don’t stop, man, we don’t let up. As soon as I get in one door, I’m simultaneously working to be the best person in that door, open up doors for other people to walk in and opening up the next door for myself to walk through.
On What Changes He’s Going to Bring to ‘E! News’
One day I’m going to sneak in a pair of Jordans! I’m going to wait until I’m there a while, but I’m going to be the first guy to wear a pair of MJs on the show! No, I look forward to being myself and having a lot of fun. I’m just really happy to be here. My entire story has been public. The first time I was on television nationally, it was broadcast so people got to see me from day one to where I’m now in this new position. So I just appreciate everybody that’s been there along for the ride. I’m just a puny kid from North Carolina.

Definitely inspiring!

Terrence J Joins ‘Baggage Claim’ With Lauren London & Paula Patton

Former BET’s 106 and Park host Terrence J scored another win this week when it was announced that he has joined the cast of the David E.

Karrueche Tran Vs. Keyshia Cole In Versace Lace Up Boots Who Rock Them Better

 Despite the foolery that’s going on in her personal life, Chris Brown’s ex Karrueche Tran continues to be in good spirits and seems to be turning into a little socialite.  She was spotted hitting up an event with her friends last night on Melrose while rocking a pair of black and white lace up boots designed by Versace.

 This past Summer, Keyshia Cole attended an album listening party in New York wearing the same boots.  She paired hers with a pair of shorts and a Stella and Jamie S/S 2013 Jacket
